the application Of the defendants, which ap-
plication was based upon the absence of wit
nesses for the defense.

Eguncoed Out OF $4,000.

The bunco game was worked yesterday
and with the greatest success. The scheme
was just very staple. The victim was an
man cf eighty-three years, who hes lived
in the city all his life. The sum which the
rascals got was $1,000, and it was drawn
rom the Western National Bank only about
fifteen minutes before the bunco men got
their fingers on it. The victim was MIR.
Joseph Horn, the weli-known retired grocer.
On Tuesday evening two nicely dressed
Young men went into 40 West Mulberry
street, which house is occupied by German
woman. They asked if they could rent o
room, aud told the lady they would pay g
dollar q day. The lady consented, and gave
lhem room down stairs. This room, un-
fortunately for Mr.. Horn, had a back door,
as we'll as front cne. Yesterday afternoon:
~ Mr.. Horn was walking slowly across
Euiaw street, he was stopped BY neatly
dressed young man. They talked about the
weather, and at last the young man asked
If be didn't want to make some money. Mr..
Horn said yes, and the young fellow said
he would show him scheme by which he
could make So 600 with 81 600 The old
gentleman didn't have the money, but had
some depositedin in bank nearby. The strang
er proposed that be should draw the money.
To this he consented and went TO The West
ern National Bank There he asked Mr..
Yneing to make him out o. eheSX, Tor
81 .00G The chsck #as made ou;, and the
- 330 was handed him. The money WAS in
twenty one hundred dollar notes, new, crisp
ones, that had never been used before The
old gentleman left the bank, and met his
freud Gu the steps. From there they walk
ed up to Mulberry street. and then to the
house No. 40, which il but twenty five
yards from Eutsw street They went in,
AID there met another young fellow. The
cd gentleman handed one the money, and
the other gave BIN slip cfpaper. t'he one
ygi,t the money left the room. and then, a
moment ar SO latsr, the other slipped out
tne back door The cid gentleman waited 6
little while and then cried out. TIE police
we're called, but, Of course, the men were
gone When the isndlady heard OF the rob
0ery her alarm and fright was something
pitiable She thought she would be held as
an accessory and would not be comforted.
! Mr.. Horn then went TO police headquarters
and told his story. Mr.. Horn lives with bis
nephew at 92S Harlem avenue. He return.
! ed home about six o'clock, so unnerved and
| excited that his nephew was alarmed, fear

was ouieted and put to bed. Mr.. Horn is
